The Los Angeles Lakers have been without Anthony Davis for weeks. Now LeBron James could be out for a while as well.

James exited Saturday's game against the Atlanta Hawks after forward Solomon Hill landed on his ankle while lunging for the ball. James remained in the game for another possession and even hit a 3-pointer, but he eventually left for the locker room while limping.

The Lakers soon announced that James was out for the rest of the game with a right ankle injury. ESPN's Dave McMenamin reported that James would undergo an MRI on the ankle, while ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reported that X-rays on the ankle were negative.

Yahoo's Chris Haynes later reported that James had been diagnosed with a high-ankle sprain and will be out indefinitely. James tweeted confirmation he had suffered some kind of injury, saying a "road back from recovery" has begun.

The loss of James for the foreseeable future is obviously a big blow to L.A. The Lakers are already without All-Star forward Anthony Davis due to a calf strain in his right leg, and they are in the midst of a tight battle for postseason positioning in the Western Conference. The Lakers currently sit third in the West, but they're only two games ahead of the fourth-seeded Clippers and just 2.5 games ahead of the Portland Trail Blazers, who are in the sixth spot.  토토사이트

Without their two best players, it will be difficult for the Lakers to maintain their spot in the standings. It's tough to tell exactly how many games James will miss at this point, but it's safe to say that the Lakers will be exceedingly cautious when it comes to the reigning Finals MVP. After all, the most important thing for L.A. is that James is healthy for postseason play.
